Also, Silva threw the knee AFTER Dean called "STOP"
Really? I didnt hear this when I watched it.

Are you legitimately trying to argue Bisping should've been allowed to call a timeout when getting pressured?
So Bisping comes back from that devastating knee and endures a vicious front kick to the face and doesnt drop, and keeps fighting and being aggressive to the end of the fight and youre saying he wanted an out?

No, but perhaps Herb could have allowed him to get his mouthpiece since weve seen a similar precedent in other fights?
Yep, of course you ignore everything else and just want to go on my opinion. Bisping started to take some shots and Anderson was putting the pressure on in the 3rd round. Looking at the ref for assistance in anyway shape or form has always been seen as "looking for a way out" so I don't know why you're acting like it's not.
Also, why are you talking about other rounds, we're talking about the 3rd.
That only applies when there's a break in the action. There wasn't a break in the action at that time, and the round was about to end anyway. Bisping was in the wrong, not Anderson
It's a combination of factors.Bisping had already pointed to his mouthpiece earlier both Herb and Andy ignored it, then later after Silva backs off he points again to it and starts talking to Herb. Obviously Anderson saw this, yet he still chose to launch a double flying knee at Bisping when he was distracted.
Did he do this out of desperation because up until that point in the fight he was losing? Seems to me he could have allowed Mike to grab his mouthpiece and then resumed the attack.
I'm pretty sure Dean said "fight" not "stop."Also, Silva threw the knee AFTER Dean called "STOP"
He wanted his mouth piece what is he supposed to do? Just keep fighting without it? We've seen plenty of fights stopped before so a ref could put it back into place.
He motioned before to Herb and Herb ignored it. Silva threw a flurry then backed up and paused for a second which Bisping saw as a break and asked again for it.
Horse shit. Herb was conveying to Bisping to stop talking to him and fight.Also, Silva threw the knee AFTER Dean called "STOP"
Because Bisping wasnt close to being out.
I find it strange that he would be looking for a way out just because Silva was pressuring him against the fence, only to go on and eat hard front kicks to the face in later rounds like theyre nothing.
